UNNATI – Brick by Brick at Meham, Rohtak

Project ‘Unnati: Brick by Brick’ at Meham, Rohtak, Haryana is a joint venture of ‘Prabhat Seva’, Social Action Wing of the Archdiocese of Delhi for Haryana and RUPCHA which aims to promote and ensure the comprehensive development of the children of Brick-makers through educational and health initiatives. The migrant labourers from Bihar and Orissa come here every year as brick makers. They bring their families with them. Due to frequent migration, the education of the children becomes a big question. We began this initiative to ensure the foundational literacy to the children and ensure their good health. We support 40 underprivileged children here for their educational and overall development.

Regular classes are conducted in two locations of the area. Physical exercises and other activities are also undertaken. We conduct monitoring visits to the project site and interact with children, parents & teachers. Thanks to Mr. Anto for his support in carrying forward this initiative. Moreover, Rupcha & Prabhat Seva jointly initiated a campaign, ‘Share the warmth’ to collect sweaters and blankets and it was distributed to more than 200 children before Christmas. Most of the families live in an open space. It was a great support for them to face the severe winter bravely. We could share the warmth of love during the Christmas Season, last year.
